- ½ tsp lemon zest (optional but amazing)

Note:
Ingredients are standard and easy to find in US, Canada, UK, and Australia grocery stores.
(Heavy cream = “double cream” in UK.)
👩🍳 Directions

In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

In a separate bowl, beat together:
- cream cheese
- sweetener

Mix until smooth and fluffy.
